Hoping health issues evaporating. Will endeavor to attend, might be late. Can't get my head around how bad i feel for missing.

This is the kind of winning where an arsonist thinks he deserves a medal for putting out a fire he started.

It feeds into the insidious effects of all of that 'boys will be boy' shit. If we want to go down that road, and we are headed back there, make no mistake, 'me too' notwithstanding, where naivete, or stupidity means that assault is ok, we have gone back to the point where the rabbit deserved to be e...

Don't love how when certain liberties are theoretically threatened, women's health rights, for example, it's, " no worries, hasn't happened, prolly wont..." but when other rights are on the table, most notably here, guns, it's panic and over-reaction and doomsday. Judges, the ones in the p...

Obama's failure began when he decided not to send Cheney to the Hague. The evidence was there, and Blackwater, and all of it...I just can't right now. There was an opening to expose all of it. Would it have been ugly, yup. Would there have been pushback, yup. Is it possible there would have been onl...

Let's begin by getting rid of prisons (or other detention facilities) for profit. Let's establish what it will cost in terms of time and training, to become a citizen, with some rational consequence (maybe worth it to people who feel they are out of choices) for "illegal" entry. Let's equa...

Parenting is another one of those impossible tasks that people have been managing for thousands of years. If you feel you are a perfect parent, you likely have a bad memory. You don't get the kid you envisioned (some assembly required), and you have the choice to love the one you got, or wish s/he w...

In my observation, no excuse mind you, younger people do not vote - these are the kinds of people you would think would get involved in a positive way, or at least purposeful way - because of debt. Most often student debt, because it has prevented them from engaging in two important activities that ...

I understand we don't want to be held responsible for sending a parent back into likely peril and poverty without the child he/she brought. Ok, that's just negligent and bureaucratic malpractice. That specific thing is not your fault. That belongs to president bonespurs and his posse of traitorous w...

False equivalency is largely to blame. Often this is purposeful and strategic, and it makes issues we might otherwise agree about impossible to reconcile. Instead of a few cockroach sightings, which we all agree are bad and should not be ignored, we have a Joe's Apartment of the corrupt and racist a...

Jut for fun, I loaded the belt into the Hal's character spreadsheet. If we get back to civilization, we each need one of these.

Unless it will immediately give Sam a high level bonus spell, Dothan should definitely take it. We are at the stage where so what if someone gets six items and another only gets one, allocation needs to be strategic rather than fair, so we all live. It's nearly at the point where we should look at a...

While wisdom is a key stat, we just had a boost, and so Hal is 2 away from a rational bonus, and charisma is more important anyway. Dothan might avoid minuses, which as we fight more magical stuff might make the difference. Otherwise, it'd be better with someone else. Presently wearing a strength be...

I feel like there's finally a real reaction to it. Departing republicans think it's so far gone they can't hurt it with their candor. Manafort, whom I predict will never "cooperate" because the FBI does not kill your wife and children, is finally incarcerated. The FBI spoke up for itself, ...

One caveat: I confess, while watching the Bio 101 video where the single cell creature becomes two single cell creatures, I was rooting for the new cell, fresh despite it's apparent identical-ness, heading out for it's own section of the petri dish to begin it's new life as a pediatrician or somethi...

Totally agree on avoiding the health risks to mom and kids, and sympathize how much harder everything is because of fake capitalism.

So if it doesn't have an actual coordinate, whether that's in motion or not, is it energy instead of matter? I'm likely decades behind the thinking on this, but if it has "mass" or what passes for mass...... Further, if Australian scientist A can find it, and call Brazilian Scientist B, wh...

Don't get hysterical. or, that's hysterical, that you think lay people will actually correctly diagnose and describe syndromes professionals often can't agree on. We have a long history of it, from hysteria to split personality, to whatever we're tamping down with the drug du jour. Not to mention mo...

Rogue One a little too tidy, but no riding off into the sunset, and the monk makes this a winner for me Empire Return Force specifically for Rey, otherwise they get progressively worse Star Wars - Entirely Lucky to hit all the archetypes and survive terrible dialogue Last, I wish. As cool s Rey is, ...

I think the writer of such a remark should be required to post his/her own photo near this sentence.
